Travel documents and advance information required by the United States
Travel document requirements
- US citizens must have a valid US passport
- Visitors travelling to or via the US must have a valid passport as well as one of the following:
- a valid visa
- authorization to travel under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) via the US Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)
- a Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
If you are travelling to, from or via the US, please take some time to read through the requirements listed below. You may need to fulfil some or all of these requirements – if mandatory requirements are not fulfilled, you may not be allowed to take your flight.
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP)
Citizens of the countries listed below can travel to the US without a visa, provided that they fulfil US VWP requirements:
- The duration of your stay is not longer than 90 days.
- You have a confirmed return ticket or a ticket for a connecting international flight (e-tickets and e-ticket receipts are accepted).
- You have sufficient funds to cover your entire stay.
- You will arrive in the US on an airline participating in VWP, such as Finnair.
- You have a valid machine-readable passport. If your passport is issued on or after 26 October 2006, it should also be a so-called biometric passport, which contains a microchip and the front cover bears the following symbol:
- For citizens of certain countries, only a biometric passport is accepted; For Finnish citizens, a passport issued prior to October 26, 2006, is accepted even though it is not biometric.
|Please note that children who are included on a parent's passport cannot travel under VWP, because their information cannot be read from the passport electronically.
Countries currently participating in VWP:
Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
For further information on VWP, see http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/business_pleasure/vwp/
ESTA travel authorization
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) unit of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operates an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). ESTA is an automated system used to determine the eligibility of visitors to travel to the US under VWP and to assess whether such travel poses any law enforcement or security risk. ESTA travel authorization is mandatory for visitors travelling to the US under VWP.
The DHS recommends that you submit your ESTA application through the CBP website no less than 72 hours prior to travel. Accompanied and unaccompanied children, regardless of age, are required to obtain an independent ESTA authorization. If you possess a valid visa, you will still be able to travel to the US on that visa for the purpose that it was issued. If you are travelling on a valid visa, you do not need to apply for ESTA authorization.
When applying for ESTA authorization, you will be given a reference number confirming your application, which you should keep for your own reference. If you are travelling under VWP, you will not be required to show this reference number or any printout of your ESTA authorization to Finnair – your ESTA status will automatically be verified when you check in, via an electronic link between Finnair and CBP.
The CBP charges a fee of 14 USD for each approved ESTA travel authorization – you must pay this fee online with a credit or debit card.
You can apply for ESTA authorization at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/. Follow the instructions and answer all mandatory questions, then submit your application for travel authorization. The ESTA website is available in several languages.
For further information on ESTA, see http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta/.
Your approved ESTA travel authorization is valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. If you wish to travel with a passport that is not the passport declared under your ESTA authorization, you must submit a new ESTA application.
If your ESTA application is denied and you wish to continue with your trip, you will have to apply for a non-immigrant visa at a US embassy or consulate. For more information about visa application procedures, see www.travel.state.gov.
Advance Passenger Information (API)
The CBP require that airlines submit advance passenger information for all passengers travelling to, from or via the US. We therefore request that you send us the following information prior to travelling – your passport details and the full address of your first night's accommodation in the US (including street name and number, city, state and zip code).
You can add all this information to your reservation using the Manage booking feature of our website.
TSA Secure Flight information
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) unit of the DHS runs a Secure Flight Program. Accordingly, Finnair is obligated to send the passenger information mentioned below to the TSA no later than 72 hours before flight departure; in the case that a reservation is made within 72 hours of departure, we will send this information immediately.
We will receive a security clearance decision from the TSA for each passenger travelling to, from or via the US. If the TSA does not grant security clearance for a particular passenger, we will not allow that passenger to board the flight. Furthermore, to avoid sanctions, we may have to cancel any reservation that lacks mandatory passenger information.
To ensure that we have all your mandatory Secure Flight information, fill in your passport details using the Manage booking feature of or website or send your information to your travel agency.
Secure Flight passenger information mandatory at the time of reservation
You must provide the following Secure Flight information when making your reservation:
- full name (written exactly as it is on your passport)
- gender
- date of birth
- Redress Number, if you have been given a Redress Number by US authorities
|Privacy notice: the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that you provide your full name, date of birth and gender for the purpose of watch list screening, under the authority of 49 U.S.C. section 114, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 and 49 C.F.R parts 1540 and 1560. You may also provide your Redress Number, if available. Failure to provide your full name, date of birth and gender may result in denial of transport or denial of authority to enter the boarding area. The TSA may share information you provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies under its published system of records notice. For more on TSA privacy policies, or to review the system of records notice and the privacy impact assessment, please see the TSA website – www.tsa.gov.
Further information: http://www.tsa.gov/stakeholders/secure-flight-program
Statutory right to advance information
In addition to receiving Advance Passenger Information and Secure Flight data, the CBP has a statutory right to receive certain information regarding reservations made on Finnair flights to, from and via the US. Passengers are informed of this at the time they make their reservations.
The US-VISIT Program
The US-VISIT Program is aimed at improving the safety and security of visitors to the US, as well as US citizens. Certain data will be collected from each visitor to the US on arrival and again on departure. Currently, this process applies to all passengers aged between 14 and 79 travelling to the US holding a visa, and all passengers travelling under VWP.
On arrival in the US, the immigration officer will also collect unique data from each visitor in the form of fingerprints and a digital photograph.
All data obtained from visitors is stored securely and is made available only to authorized officials and selected law enforcement agencies on a need to know basis in their efforts to protect the US.
For further information on the US-VISIT Program, see http://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/usv.shtm.

Globe Theatre
843 Chapel Street,
New Haven,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Located just down from the New Haven Green. 845 is a jewelry store and 841 is a ladies fashion store, but both facades look the same so it could have been one entrance in the middle. There are tile inlays on the floor, sloped down toward the sidewalk and the entrances have glass that opens inward, creating U-shaped storefronts. Can't judge the back of the building from that area because it's all a jumble.

A Hall theater organ was installed in the Globe Theater in 1914.
At least the lobby building is still there, it seems, stripped of all its ornamentation. Compare the old photo at View link with the one at View link . It's the same building as you can tell by the building next to it.

My boyfriend was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma at the age of 22 after experiencing night sweats, weight loss, pain in his jaw and a bad back. He underwent 4 months of chemo and intrathecal chemo and has been in remission. As Burkitt is so rare, there is a lack of research determining whether the treatment is curative or palliative and I want to know what the chances are that it will return. I am also concerned as to whether it is hereditary. His brother was born with CHARGE syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects learning, growth and the ability to hear. Click here for answer

PROFILE of Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier. Tomas Maier, the head designer of the Italian fashion label Bottega Veneta, is one of those people who wants to erase every fault in their range of sight. Maier, who grew up in the Black Forest in Germany, is fifty-three, and he has the aspect of a hipster monk. At Bottega Veneta, Maier designs men's and women's ready-to-wear clothing, along with housewares, furniture, watches, porcelain, and jewelry. But it is his leather accessories—bags, shoes, wallets—that are the label's signature, and its best-selling items. At certain moments, Maier recalls characters in the novels of Kingsley Amis, those finely tuned instruments of outrage who find catharsis in cataloguing all the human failures around them. His goal as a designer is to strip away all unnecessary parts until a dress or a shirt or a bag has been reduced to its functional essence. When Maier took over Bottega Veneta, in June, 2001, the fashion world was ruled by bling-laden excess, symbolized by the phenomenon of the It Bag. Maier's first act upon taking over at Bottega Veneta was to design a bag that looked, in the context of the times, like a rebuke: a woven leather sack with two handles. With no logos, no hardware, no adornments, the bag, which Maier called a Cabat, has since become one of the label's top-selling items. Maier has increased Bottega Veneta's sales eight hundred per cent in the past nine years, bringing the company out of near-bankruptcy. His strenuous refusal to overmarket the bag is itself a kind of marketing—the type that appeals to a customer who disdains the easy status recognition that comes from a conspicuous label. The appeal of Maier's designs is similarly aided by clubbiness and small production runs of certain items. Maier grew up in the small city of Pforzheim, near Germany's border with France. Mentions Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs. By his early thirties, Maier was freelancing for Sonia Rykiel, Revillon, Hermès, and other well-regarded labels. Mentions Claude Brouet. In 1999, he quit all his contracts and moved to Miami with his companion, Andrew Preston. They went into business together, launching Maier's own, eponymous label, which focused on bikinis and casual clothing. In early 2001, the Gucci Group bought Bottega Veneta, and Tom Ford, who was creative director of Gucci at the time, offered Maier a position as head designer of the company. Describes the Bottega Veneta workshop, in Vicenza, Italy. Mentions Stefano Brazzali and Anna Rosa. Describes Maier's interest in fabrics. In early May, Maier oversaw the making of a promotional DVD for Bottega Veneta's 2011 "resort" collection, at Milk Studios in Manhattan. Mentions Robert Longo.

If you have been suffering from severe or chronic back or neck pain, then you could look to your employer for answers. A recent study reported that workers who spend too much time trying to balance the responsibilities of family and work can suffer from stress-induced back and neck pain, which can have a drastic impact on everyday life.
The study, outlined in Science Daily, reported on the impact of such work-family stress on medical staff. The problem, of course, is that these employees (like so many others throughout the world) are being asked to work longer hours more often. That, of course, has a big impact on their home lives and they are forced to perform a juggling act to keep both work and family operating smoothly.
Nearly 1,200 members of the hospital staff participated in the recent study, which questioned them on the amount of time they spend at work each week, the amount of stress that places on them when trying to fulfill family commitments, and about the musculoskeletal pain they felt from day to day. Other possible contributors to pain levels were considered to avoid skewed results. What they did find is that those with the high work-home conflict were the most likely to have neck, back, or arm pain. Not only are the employees hurt by this continued stress and suffering, the patients could be as well should the medical staff be incapable of maintaining optimum levels of work efficiency.
If you feel that your boss is asking too much of you or that your job is causing you undue physical stress, you should consider the benefits of moving on to a new employer. If the conditions become unbearable or cause you serious and lasting injury, you may also want to speak to a personal injury attorney about your rights.

European banks try to get around Dodd-FrankMarch 21, 2012: 7:40 PM ET
Updated March 22 11:45 AM
For foreign banks, Dodd-Frank might have an escape hatch.
FORTUNE -- Foreign banks may have come up with a way to remain eligible for U.S. bailouts without having to follow some of the pesky rules that came out of the financial crisis, rules that were meant to prevent future taxpayer rescues.
Last month, German financial giant Deutsche Bank altered the legal structure of its U.S. operations so that it's no longer officially a "bank-holding" company. As such, Deutsche, even though it's one of the nation's largest banking operations with over $350 billion in assets and over 8,500 U.S. employees, may no longer be required to hold the same amount of capital as its American rivals.
For the time being it appears Deutsche's U.S. operations would still be subject to the Volcker rule - the part of Dodd-Frank banking reform that bars banks from making risky trades and investing in hedge funds and has been one of the most contested portions of bank reform by Wall Street - and other soon to be passed regulations. But a further legal maneuver might allow the bank to get around those as well. Worse, because Deutsche still has a U.S. subsidiary it will be able to borrow from the Fed when it gets into trouble, potentially setting up a repeat of the financial crisis when the Fed was forced to extended billions of dollars in cheap loans to Deutsche and other foreign banks in order to stave off a worsening of the credit crunch.
British bank Barclays, which bought the U.S. investment banking operations of Lehman Brothers when that bank collapsed, appears to be making moves to ease it's U.S. capital requirements as well.
"These moves ought to be severely scrutinized by the Fed," says Michael Barr, a former Treasury Department official who helped write the Dodd-Frank legislation and is now a law professor at the University of Michigan. "The Fed needs to fully understand these foreign banks' U.S. operations and the risks they pose to our system."
Deutsche spokesman Dunkin King says, "We always had and will continue to have appropriate capital levels in all our U.S. regulated entities. This action, which does not diminish any of our regulatory oversight allows us to streamline our organizational structure, strengthening an already strong institution."
Getting around Dodd-Frank won't lower the overall capital the foreign banks have to hold. New banking rules require banks in the U.S. and Europe to hold the same amount of money to cover bad loans and other losses. But it may save Deutsche from raising the amount of capital it keeps at its U.S. subsidiary by $20 billion. Some fear that in times of financial stress foreign banks might not be able or willing to bailout their U.S. subsidiaries. Foreign regulators, worried about their local economies, might not let banks move capital overseas.
Barr says regulators knew foreign banks would have the ability to wiggle out of some of Dodd-Frank's rules. As a result, the legislation gives the Fed the ability to impose capital requirements on foreign banks even if they are not U.S. bank holding companies. Financial firms deemed "systemically important," meaning their failure could cause problems for other banks, would have to hold more capital in the U.S. whether they are classified as a bank or not. Still, the capital rules aren't automatic and would have to be approved by the Fed. Fed officials could not be reached for comment.

FORTUNE -- Dear Annie: After 27 years in finance, the last 12 as a senior partner in a successful midsized accounting firm, I'm thinking about "retiring" and trying to find work that gives something back to the community. I have served on a couple of local nonprofit boards over the years, and have some fundraising experience too. For instance, last year, I ran a series of events for the local ASPCA that raised about $200,000 to support a no-kill animal shelter in my town.
But when it comes to looking for an actual job in the nonprofit world, I'm not sure where to start. I've heard that nonprofits are looking to hire businesspeople, but what specifically are these organizations seeking, and how should I position myself to be a strong candidate? — Hoping to Help
Dear H.H.: It's interesting how many people have asked me some variation of this question lately -- but perhaps not surprising: About 9 million Baby Boomers (ages 44 to 70) have already launched "encore careers" with a social purpose, and an estimated 31 million more are interested in doing likewise, according to a study by the MetLife Foundation and nonprofit Encore.org.
Moreover, the timing for such a move seems propitious. Many nonprofits are actively seeking seasoned businesspeople (and, increasingly, they're willing to offer salaries that are closer to for-profit pay than in the past. A recent survey by Houston-based executive recruiters The Alexander Group says that, since 2007, 61% of nonprofits have hired executives from the business world, and 84% of those organizations report that these hires have adjusted to their new jobs "extremely well."
"The boundaries between for-profit and not-for-profit have been blurring for a while now," says Alexander Group managing director Jane Howze, who has done many executive and board searches for nonprofits. "We expect that opportunities to move between the two sectors will keep growing."
In bringing businesspeople on board, nonprofit hiring managers look for volunteer board experience and fundraising skill above all, the survey found. More than half (57%) have hired a new chief development officer (read: head fundraiser) in the past five years, with chief financial officers and chief marketing officers tied for second place: about 45% of nonprofits have hired one or both.

While not often thought about, subframe bushings can be very hazardous to your 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, or 1972 Camaro if worn down long enough. Rick's Camaros wants to help in figuring out whether or not you need new subframe and radiator support bushings. Some symptoms of worn bushings could be uneven tire wear, "darting" when using the brakes, clunking from the front suspension, or moving left or right with no steering input while driving forward. You may also notice squeaking noises coming from your Camaro, which could mean a need for new radiator support bushings. Any of these things could mean that your bushings need replacing, and Rick's Camaros is here to provide the best replacement bushing kits for subframe and radiator support. Replacing exact original factory specifications, our subframe bushing mount kit will exactly fit your original Camaro bushings. Our bushing mount kits are guaranteed to improve the handling and stiffness of your Camaro and reduce chances of uncontrolled steering movement or suspension clunking. These bushings are also guaranteed to last longer than stock rubber bushings. This kit, provided by Rick's Camaros, includes six bushings with steel inserts, and six biscuit cushions. When checking and replacing the bushings of your Camaro, they can be inspected by looking at the top of bushing that sits between the subframe and body of your Camaro. Trust Rick's Camaros to provide only the best replacement parts for your 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, or 1972 Camaro!

And also since there would be no humans left it would also help if u where talking about underworld theroy or resident evil which would give u more of ab accurate theroy. Now if ur talking about dawn of the dead and van helsing or a different movie reference then the out come would ve different. Or even warm bodies. Like I said each outcome would ve different
A zombie bit a vampire first it would be a zompire and have uncontrollable blood lust and if a human got bit so would it. if u mean a human who got bit and was about to turn into a zombie abd a vampire bit him too well he would be a zompire with a little more intellagence than a zombie containing a vampires ability and a zombies abilities plus imunity towards sunlight meaning it would be diffcult to kill by using a gun. Plus zombues evolve to their surrounding and by then there would be no humans left means they wiukd either die off or turn on each other.
zombies and vampires are both complex, both in skills and way of turning another one in their own kind. it is possible that the vampiere and zombie are inume to each others virus as they are both undeath, so giving a vampire the zombie virus in it's blood and vice versa will just do nothing.
worst case seniriao the vampire would loose it's liking for blood and become more interesing in meat while still reamining all it's inteligence and skills as a vampire. it will just turn into a meat eating vampire and so will the ones who survive it's attack
and another posibility is that the vampire may act like it used drugs, like weed, acid or booze as they cannot get drunk in the first place, being undead. and a zompire or vambie could possibly only occur when a vampire and zombie start mating, in general some stories say that vampires can have children and zombie lack that ability, maybe it's possible for a vampire to mate with a zombie and create that hybrid breed but that would be very unlikely as vampires prefer mating with someone that is not rotting, exspecially downthere

Attack on SSL Users Discovered, Tool Sources Released
SSL won't come to a rest: the newest attack isn't about encryption or errors in the Secure Sockets Layer protocol, it's about the weakest link in the chain -- the user.
Moxie Marlinspike had already developed sslsniff in 2002. Based on certificate chaining, the client proxy tool intercepts HTTPS traffic from the server and switches the certificate with its own. Assuming a correct configuration and current browser, the result of its use removes any associated attack opportunities. But, asks Marlinspike, what if the client browser doesn't do any SSL queries?
That's why the San Franciscan developed a further proxy named sslstrip (see his presentation slides). The sslstrip tool searches for embedded links, such as https://.../login.php, originating from server webpages and replaces all HTTPS links with like-named HTTP links, such as http://.../login.php, while remembering the original HTTPS target. When the user clicks the modified URL, the sslstrip proxy recognizes it and opens an SSL connection with the server, which sends the webpage, albeit over a nonsecure connection.
In this way the man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacker can access all information from the connection. Such a scenario has an obvious application for online banking where only an HTTP start page might appear, but with visible SSL links and icons that give at least a visual sense of security. Often users ignore warning dialogs and click through them. In the case of an sslstrip intervention, the user doesn't even get the warning dialogs, because no apparent invalid HTTPS connection is created. His browser simply doesn't create a secure connection. The kind of MITM attacks this can provide, and how users might be totally unaware of them, is clearly indicated in Marlinspike's "New Tricks for Defeating SSL in Practice" slides.
After some wide-ranging debate last week about sslstrip, the tool is now available for download. It comprises about 1,000 lines of Python code and is under GLPv3 licensing.

In 1972, the Board of Trustees suspended the program due to insufficient finances and low attendance. However, the program was reinstated before the 1985-86 season. The Hurricanes basketball team was minimally competitive until Miami hired Leonard Hamilton to coach the struggling team. By the end of the decade, Hamilton led the Hurricanes to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2000. During the 2007-08 season, the Hurricanes exceeded expectations and started the season on 12 straight wins.

It was Hurricane season in 2013 for the ACC as Miami took home the ACC Championship and heads into the NCAA Tournament as a front runner in the East. The Canes failed to see a tournament berth last year and going 27-6 through the regular season shows that they did not take it lightly. Miami will start their tournament run off in Austin, Texas at the Frank Erwin Center in hopes to end their run at the national championship in Atlanta, Georgia.

Quality Time
After years of struggling to meet demand for tobacco, growers and cigarmakers are again focusing on quality, not quantity
James Suckling
From the Print Edition:
The Best Places to Gamble, Sep/Oct 02
Genuine cigarmakers take their materia prima very seriously. Without the best raw material, they can't make serious cigars. It's like the relationship of great grapes to great wine or excellent ingredients to excellent cuisine. Just like top-class wine and cuisine, it takes time to produce superlative raw material for cigars.
This is a fundamental philosophy for preeminent tobacco men. I have traveled to most of the key tobacco-growing areas in the world. The common thread binding together everyone who grows the best tobacco, or makes the best cigars, is that they are obsessed with quality. And they take their time to make excellent smokes.
I remember one hot summer evening sitting on the porch at Finca La Pina in the Pinar del Río with the great Cuban tobacco grower Alejandro Robaina and some of his family. They have been making some of the best wrapper tobacco in Cuba's Vuelta Abajo for more than a century. For them, the quality of their leaf is more important than anything else.
Robaina's nephew Frank was telling a story about his grandfather. Apparently the old man seldom spoke as he was approaching his 100th birthday. He spent most of his days in a rocking chair on the porch, smoking homemade cigars and watching the slow-paced country life go by. Frank said that his grandfather often wouldn't say a word for days; he would mostly nod or shake his head to communicate. It was the pungent blue smoke of his cigar that assured everyone that his grandfather was still breathing.
One day, he spoke. It was the day that samples of flue-cured wrapper tobacco arrived from the state tobacco technicians. Frank's grandfather was shuffling over to one of the barns, just as Frank was walking up the dusty road from the main entrance of the plantation with the tobacco in his hands.
"Grandfather, look at this tobacco that I just received," said Frank, holding out the light brown leaves, which had been artificially cured in what in effect is a giant oven.
Frank's grandfather stopped for a moment to look. His tanned, weathered face drew closer to the tobacco as he squinted to get a better view. "Merda," said the old man, and he slowly turned and continued his labored journey to one of the barns.
"For him, the tobacco was shit," says Frank. "He probably wouldn't have said a word for weeks, if he hadn't seen that tobacco, but he believed that nothing was more sacred than tobacco. And he had to say something about the quality of the leaf I had in my hands."
The point of the story is not to illustrate the pitfalls of artificially cured tobacco. If done correctly, flue-cured tobacco can be as good as naturally cured leaves. At least, Cuban tobacco experts assure me that's true. I doubt anyone could tell the difference anyway, once the tobacco is used to make premium cigars. The Cubans began using flue curing on wrapper leaf on a large scale in the mid-1990s, when they started growing and selling Connecticut-seed wrapper in the Partido region of the island, about 30 minutes from the outskirts of Havana. There were rumors that some of the leaf found its way onto exported, hand-rolled cigars, but Cuban cigar officials always denied this. The leaf, they insisted, was sold to machine-made cigar manufacturers in Europe.
However, the Cubans' experience with artificially curing the Connecticut leaf convinced them to do the same with Cuban-seed wrapper tobacco grown in Partido and the Vuelta Abajo. "We can better control the curing and we don't need to worry about the changes in the weather," says one technician. To my uneducated eyes, naturally cured wrapper tobaccos seem to have more oil and elasticity than artificially cured ones, but university-trained technicians in Cuba have said I am wrong.

On the Floor
Accomplishments of Democratic-Led Congress in Restoring Accountability and Fiscal Responsibility in Washington
The American people spoke out in the 2006 elections, demanding a New Direction--a Congress that would set a new high standard for accountability, open and transparent government, and ethical conduct--following a torrent of revelations of Republican corruption, cronyism, and incompetence from one end of Pennsylvania Avenue to the other.
On June 6, 2007, the House passed the Afghanistan Freedom and Security Support Act, H.R. 2446, which will fund development, economic and security assistance programs, and establishment of a coordinator to tackle the growing threat of narcotics in Afghanistan.
On May 3, 2007, the House passed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, H.R. 1592. This bill focuses on providing new resources to help state and local law enforcement agencies prevent and prosecute hate crimes. It also closes gaps in current federal hate crimes law.
On May 24, 2007, the House passed two amendments to the emergency supplemental bill passed in the Senate.
On May 24, 2007, the House passed the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007, H.R. 2316, which ends the tight-knit relationship between lobbyists and lawmakers. This is tough legislation that ends the culture of corruption, and restores accountability in Washington. The bill ends the tight-knit relationship between lobbyists and lawmakers and takes another major step toward making the 110th Congress the most open, honest Congress in history.
On May 23, 2007, the House passed 6 bills to support our veterans and honor their sacrifices, providing them with expanded health care and the benefits they deserve.
During the week of May 21, 2007, the House passed two pieces of legislation to reduce the burden of rising gas prices on American families.
On May 22, 2007, the House passed the Preserving United States Attorney Independence Act of 2007, S. 214, which reinstates the Senate's role in the U.S. Attorney confirmation process. This bill is designed to help better ensure the independence of U.S. Attorneys - by repealing a provision in a 2006 statute that grants the Attorney General the authority to make indefinite interim appointments of U.S. Attorneys, who can then serve indefinitely without Senate confirmation. This bill was signed into law by the President on June 16.
On May 22, 2007, the House passed the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2007, H.R. 1427, which will overhaul the regulatory oversight of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks, and create a new, independent regulator with broad powers analogous to current banking regulators.
On May 15, 2007, the House passed the COPS Improvement Act of 2007, H.R. 1700, which will provide much needed support to local law enforcement agencies for their community oriented policing (COPS) efforts. This legislation is especially important as local law enforcement agencies struggle with funding gaps to keep officers on the streets.
